Robert Henri was born Robert Henry Cozad in Cincinnati, Ohio, on June 24, 1865, the son of a professional gambler and real estate developer. The family lived in Nebraska and Colorado, but fled east when the father shot and killed a rancher over a land dispute and was indicted for manslaughter. They changed their last name because of the ensuing scandal and eventually settled in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the early 1880s.
In 1886 Henri enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he studied under Thomas Anshutz, Thomas Hovenden...

Max Eisler Eine Nachlese folio "Girlfriends II" collotype print
Located in Chicago, IL
After Gustav Klimt, Max Eisler #1, Die Freundinnen II; multi-color collotype after 1916/17 painting in oil on canvas which was destroyed by fire in May 1945 at Immendorf Castle Lower Austria.
Eisler’s choice to begin his 1931 portfolio of works by Klimt with Girlfriends II was both bold and prescient. Just 14 years later, the painting was tragically destroyed in a fire. With such a loss, this rare and exquisite image is all the more valuable by virtue of having been made in color. In works from his late period, Klimt continued his fascination with exploring female dynamics and their various forms of love. Girlfriends II is a fine example of how space, color and ornament play a noticeable role in the evolution of his symbolic language. Wide swaths of space in the background as well as the two female forms create the structure. Klimt’s strong brushstrokes show a painterly quality and a new move toward abstraction which feels very far away from his earlier work. Nor should Klimt’s economy of line be overlooked. His draughtsmanship is what infuses the female bodies with movement, emotion and a profundity of life. Both women confront the viewer’s gaze unselfconsciously, as if they are modern-day Viennese women stepping out of a Klimtesque ukiyo-e print. Characteristic of this late period, Klimt uses ornament...

1896 poster by Privat-Livemont Absinthe Robette Les Maîtres de l'Affiche
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1896 original poster by Privat-Livemont for Absinthe Robette stands as one of the most iconic examples of the Art Nouveau movement and a testament to the golden age of advertising art. Included in the prestigious series Les Maîtres de l'Affiche as Plate 104, this poster epitomizes the elegance, fluidity, and ornamental style that defined turn-of-the-century commercial design.
Designed by Privat-Livemont, a Belgian artist renowned for his contributions to Art Nouveau, the Absinthe Robette poster was created to advertise the popular absinthe drink of the late 19th century. Absinthe, often referred to as the "Green Fairy," was a fashionable and somewhat controversial beverage, celebrated for its intoxicating allure and inspiration among artists, writers, and bohemians of the period.
Privat-Livemont was celebrated for his ability to combine decorative elegance with commercial purpose. His work for Absinthe Robette reflects the signature traits of Art Nouveau: graceful lines, flowing forms, and a harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs. Posters like this were not merely advertisements but works of art in their own right, often displayed in cafes, bars, and public spaces, capturing the imagination of passersby.
Les Maîtres de l'Affiche (The Masters of the Poster) was a renowned collection of lithographic works, published between 1895 and 1900, that brought together the finest poster art from the greatest artists of the time. Curated by Jules Chéret, the series highlighted the artistic mastery of advertising and included works by notable artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Alphonse Mucha, and Privat-Livemont. Plate 104, featuring Absinthe Robette, is a shining example of the beauty and sophistication celebrated within this series.
The late 19th century saw posters emerge as a powerful medium for both art and commerce, revolutionizing the visual landscape of cities. In this golden era, artists like Privat-Livemont elevated the status of posters from functional advertisements to celebrated works of art. Through their ornate designs and expressive use of color and composition, these posters reflected the aesthetic and cultural trends of the time.
Today, the Absinthe Robette poster remains an enduring symbol of the Art Nouveau movement and a treasured piece of history. As part of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, it holds significant cultural and artistic value, appealing to collectors, historians, and admirers of vintage advertising art...
